To easily schedule and join meetings in Gather:

If you're switching from Gather 1.0 to Gather 2.0, make sure you uninstall the original Gather Meetings Extension before installing the new one.

Google Calendar Integration

What it does:

View upcoming events in the Calendar tab
Receive in-app reminders so you never miss a meeting
One-click walk to meetings to easily join
Display upcoming meetings in your profile card, so others know when it’s a good time to reach out to you

Automatically add a Gather meeting link to the calendar event
Allow meeting attendees to instantly join the meeting in the correct room in Gather
Automatically select a meeting room in your Gather office with the right capacity

If you’ve previously used the original Gather Meetings Extension, you’ll need to uninstall it by clicking Remove From Chrome.

Once the original extension has been removed, you can follow the steps below to install the new version: Gather Meetings v2.

Currently, you can only connect the extension to a single office. To change the space it’s connected to:

In Google Calendar, create a new calendar event
Click Make it Gather Meeting to automatically generate a link to any available room
To select a specific room, click the link and select an option from the dropdown
Save the meeting
Clicking the link will automatically bring attendees to the correct meeting room in Gather
